BRUCE PEARL: Conservatives are attacking the very college sports bill that protects women

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 05:00:54 -0400

Men don’t belong in women’s sports. That isn’t complicated, but some conservative influencers and interest groups are allowing it to become complicated through careless claims about legislation designed to protect college athletics.

I spent nearly five decades coaching college basketball. I know the difference between winning a possession and winning the game. Conservatives now face a similar choice: We can chase applause by attacking allies and mischaracterizing the bill, or we can unite around the facts and win the larger fight for women, fairness and the future of college sports.

Some organizations and women’s-sports advocates claim the Protect College Sports Act would "gut" Title IX or invalidate state laws that reserve women’s teams for women. They are wrong. The text says the opposite.

REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK: COLLEGE SPORTS BILL ENTERS LEGISLATIVE 'RED ZONE' AS SEASON KICKS OFF

Section 127 explicitly states that nothing in the bill will "override, modify, or amend" Title IX. Female athletes would retain their current legal protections and ability to bring sex-discrimination claims. Section 120 also protects athletes, employees and others from retaliation for reporting discrimination or participating in Title IX proceedings.

Critics also claim the bill would erase state laws keeping men out of women’s sports. It would not. The legislation establishes national standards for Division I and Division II competition on limited eligibility questions, including academics, professional status, legal violations, age and years of eligibility. It neither creates a federal right for men to enter women’s competitions nor pre-empts state laws establishing sex-based athletic categories.

REPUBLICAN SENATORS FILE AMENDMENT TO STOP COLLEGE SPORTS BILL FROM OVERRIDING STATE WOMEN'S SPORTS LAWS

The bill does not expressly create a federal right for biological males to compete in women’s sports, and Section 127 states that nothing in the bill overrides, modifies or amends Title IX. Critics seem to be grasping at anything and eager to disregard the Title IX provisions here. Especially since the Supreme Court ruled in June that schools may keep men out of women’s sports.

It also requires governing bodies to enforce rules related to state and federal law and allows individuals to sue when the law is violated.

CONGRESS MUST FIX THE PROTECT COLLEGE SPORTS ACT BEFORE GIRLS PAY THE PRICE

The bill also gives schools a powerful incentive to invest in women’s and Olympic sports. It creates a $22.5 million athlete-retention fund and allows schools to unlock up to an additional $5 million through eligible NIL investments in women’s, Olympic and non-revenue sports. A school seeking the full $27.5 million retention allowance would first need to invest $5 million in those sports. That is an ingenious way to ensure continued investment in programs that might otherwise be left behind.

And every year Congress waits, the financial pressure on college athletics grows, and the programs with the fewest resources become even more vulnerable. My 2025 Final Four team had a total NIL budget of approximately $4 million. By the 2027 Final Four, some teams could be operating with budgets approaching $30 million.

Conservatives should debate legislation, demand improvements and scrutinize every line. But facts must guide us. Too many Washington organizations would rather score points against perceived rivals than secure lasting victories for women and college athletes.

CRUZ AND CANTWELL REFUSE TO BEND TO SEC AND BIG TEN CONCERNS IN REVISED COLLEGE ATHLETICS LEGISLATION

Outrage is easy; turning shared principles into law is harder. Infighting only helps the left, which has spent years undermining Title IX while conservatives battle over legislation that expressly preserves it. If we can’t unite and get this done, we will lose college sports as we know them, and women’s and Olympic sports will continue to be among the first casualties.

The stakes extend beyond Title IX, and the crisis is no longer theoretical. Thirty-two Division I Olympic-sports programs were cut between the announcement of the House settlement and May 2025. WRAL reported that more than 40 Division I Olympic-sports programs were cut between May 2024 and July 2025, even though 75% of American Olympians in 2024 competed in collegiate athletics. NCAA data

Even the University of Arkansas, backed by SEC resources, announced plans to eliminate its tennis programs before donors intervened to save them. If programs at schools like Arkansas are vulnerable, imagine the danger facing smaller schools, women’s teams and non-revenue sports nationwide.

Credit where credit is due: Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., and others have stepped up to move this legislation forward. President Trump has also led from the front by restoring the biological meaning of sex in federal policy, taking action to save college sports and backing this bill. Now, those who claim to support the America First movement should get in the game, help Congress finish the job and deliver this win for women and college athletes.

Congress now has the opportunity to take important steps to stabilize college sports, support educational opportunities for young women and men, and provide protections for the uniquely American experience of intercollegiate athletics.

There is broad agreement that college sports cannot go on with no meaningful guardrails around eligibility, transfer policy and NIL oversight. The Protect College Sports Act is an important step in the right direction, and Congress needs to keep the positive momentum moving forward.

Winning the point may feel good. Winning the war matters more.

Democrat mayor blasted by DHS for 'hunting down' property owners leasing to ICE: 'Unhinged'

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 05:00:50 -0400

The Department of Homeland Security is calling out Boston Democratic Mayor Michelle Wu’s "unhinged" effort to dissuade business owners from leasing to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the city, equating it to "hunting down" private property owners.

After Boston banned ICE vehicles from using city-owned parking lots to stage operations, ICE issued a notice seeking to rent hundreds of parking spaces in the city for five years. In response, Wu, an outspoken opponent of President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement agenda, issued an open letter to parking garage and lot owners throughout Boston in which she revealed the city had submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request "for any local responses to ICE."

DHS fired back in an X post, writing that "these actions by sanctuary Mayor Michelle Wu are unhinged."

"She knows she has NO authority to block us from using private property. So, she’s hunting down private property owners and threatening them for working with ICE — because she’d rather intimidate law-abiding Bostonians than get criminal illegal aliens OFF the street," wrote DHS.

ICE issued a "sources sought" notice last month for "surge parking" in 14 cities across the country. The notice revealed ICE was seeking 249 contiguous parking spaces in Boston.

In response, Wu issued an official appeal from the city of Boston for garage and lot owners to "reject ICE staging facilities." She wrote that "were ICE to procure such resources, it would constitute an unprovoked and unwarranted escalation, creating potentially significant risks to public safety and halting economic activity across our entire region."

She boasted that she "joined together with six other cities across Greater Boston and signed Executive Orders prohibiting ICE from staging its operations on municipal property and parking lots," adding, "Today, I ask you to join us: Reject any proposition by ICE to facilitate an attack on the people of Boston."

Wu also noted that the same day, the city submitted a FOIA request for any local responses to ICE. She told the garage and lot owners, "We will keep you updated as we push for a response," adding, "Thank you again for your partnership."

EXCLUSIVE: 5-TIME ILLEGAL ENTRANT ADMITS ‘MISTAKE’ THAT FINALLY GOT HIM BUSTED BY ICE

In its FOIA request, which was submitted to ICE and reviewed by ӣ��Ƶ Digital, the city of Boston states that it is seeking "all submissions and/or responses to ICE Sources Sought Notice with Notice ID ‘DHS-ICE-SurgeParking.’"

DHS responded to Wu’s FOIA request by calling her a "pro-criminal illegal alien politician" in another X post. The agency said the request also indicates that Wu "admits she has no authority to block ICE from utilizing private property."

"If private citizens want to allow federal law enforcement onto their own property, they should be allowed to do so—free of threats, intimidation and coercion from their radical left-wing mayor who shamelessly compared ICE agents to a neo-Nazi group," wrote DHS.

ӣ��Ƶ Digital reached out to Wu’s office and the city of Boston for comment.

Wu’s FOIA request came after the Boston City Council adopted an "emergency resolution" earlier this month urging the city to "explore all avenues to oppose" proposed parking leases for ICE in downtown Boston.

Darline Graham faces make-or-break GOP runoff in historic bid to keep brother’s Senate seat

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 05:00:36 -0400

President Donald Trump isn't on the ballot, but his clout over the GOP and the immense power of his endorsements in Republican primaries are on the line Tuesday in statewide runoff elections in South Carolina and Oklahoma.

Trump is backing Sen. Darline Graham in the Republican Senate nomination runoff in South Carolina, in the race to succeed her late brother, GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham, who unexpectedly died this summer at age 71.

And the president is supporting former state budget secretary and former state Sen. Mike Mazzei for the Republican gubernatorial nomination in Oklahoma, where GOP Gov. Kevin Stitt is term-limited.

Both Trump-backed candidates are facing off in competitive contests on that day that also includes a special election runoff in Georgia to fill a congressional seat left vacant following Democratic Rep. David Scott’s death in April. The two candidates are Democrats, which means the winner will further reduce an already extremely fragile Republican majority in the House.

DEMOCRACY ’26: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB

In South Carolina, Darline Graham is facing off with conservative Rep. Ralph Norman, with the winner replacing the late senator as the Republican Senate nominee on the midterm ballot in reliably red South Carolina.

Graham and Norman finished first and second in a special Senate primary two weeks ago, but with neither candidate landing a majority of the vote, they advanced to a runoff from a field that also included Rep. Russell Fry and former governor and former Rep. Mark Sanford.

"We need every South Carolina patriot to go to the polls and vote for Darline Graham," Trump urged on Friday as he headlined a rally for Graham in Myrtle Beach. "What I really want you to do is pretend, please, that I'm on the ballot. Just come and vote. It's so important."

Graham is backed by term-limited South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster, who last month appointed her to fill the rest of her late brother's current term in the Senate. She also has the backing of Fry, a top Trump ally in the House, as well as the support of Sen. Tim Scott, South Carolina's other senator and chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

WHAT THE LATEST FOX NEWS POWER RANKINGS IN THE MIDTERM RACES SHOW

Norman, who unsuccessfully campaigned earlier this year for the GOP gubernatorial nomination in the race to succeed McMaster, has been showcasing his support for the president in his Senate campaign and questioning Trump's backing of Darline Graham.

He was backed last week by Sanford, who briefly launched a long-shot and unsuccessful 2020 presidential challenge against Trump. Sanford, who is known as a fiscally conservative budget hawk, pointed to the nation's debt as a key motivator behind his decision to launch a Senate campaign, and later for backing Norman.

The Trump endorsement hasn't proven to be a sure bet this cycle in South Carolina.

Trump backed Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette for the GOP gubernatorial nomination — in the race to succeed the term-limited McMaster — ahead of the state's early June primary.

Evette was the top vote-getter in the primary but lost the ensuing runoff election against South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson in a landslide. And Trump, ever hungry for a victory, endorsed Wilson in addition to Evette days before the runoff.

"It’s becoming a referendum on Trump," a South Carolina-based Republican consultant told ӣ��Ƶ Digital.

The strategist, who asked for anonymity to speak more freely, argued Trump "came to South Carolina to solidify his endorsement because he has to show a win here."

Norman, as he runs for the Senate, is also backed by former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who served as ambassador to the United Nations during Trump's first term in the White House. Norman was the only member of South Carolina's congressional delegation, and the first member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, to endorse Haley over Trump in the 2024 Republican presidential primaries.

"Trump still has a nasty taste in his mouth for Nikki Haley," the GOP strategist argued.

In Oklahoma, the Trump-backed Mazzei finished slightly behind state Attorney General Gentner Drummond in the initial June GOP primary, with a crowded field keeping either from winning the nomination outright. The winner of Tuesday's GOP runoff will be considered the clear general election favorite in the Republican-dominated state.

Trump has boasted a powerful endorsement scorecard in GOP primaries so far this election cycle.

"My Endorsements are stronger than ever," the president touted this past weekend in a social media post.

But five of his gubernatorial picks in Republican primaries have fallen short. Besides South Carolina's Evette, that list includes Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and Rep. Randy Feenstra of Iowa, who lost nominating contests this spring. And two weeks ago, Wyoming Superintendent of Public Instruction Megan Degenfelder and Minnesota businessman and "My Pillow" founder and former CEO Mike Lindell fell short.

"There’s no question that an endorsement from President Trump provides a tremendous boost in a Republican primary. But it doesn’t necessarily mean the candidate’s going to win," veteran GOP strategist and communicator Ryan Williams told ӣ��Ƶ Digital.

Williams said that "the president still has a firm grip on the party, even in places where a candidate he backed loses a nomination." But he noted that "if there are underlying issues with a candidacy, those can pose problems that even an endorsement can’t overcome."

Meanwhile, in Georgia, two Democrats are vying to serve the remaining months through the end of the year of Scott's term in the House.

The finalists are former Gwinnett County School Board Chair Everton Blair and Marcye Scott, the late congressman's daughter.

LIZ PEEK: China is cheering as the Left blocks America’s AI infrastructure

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 05:00:23 -0400

The progressive Left is working hard to derail America’s AI dominance by blocking data center construction. So is China.

The AI push is critical to U.S. national security, to win what retired Lt. Col. Robert Maginnis calls the "new AI Cold War with China." But, it is also essential to U.S. economic growth. The U.S. needs to buttress its shrinking workforce, and AI agents are standing by to take over from retiring Boomers, self-deporting immigrants, and a declining number of college graduates.

AI is coming of age at the perfect time and yet anti-growth activists, amplified by foreign adversaries and media alarmism, want to shut it all down.

LAWMAKERS RAISE ALARM OVER NEVILLE ROY SINGHAM'S $278M NETWORK SPREADING CCP PROPAGANDA IN THE U.S.

China is helping them do that. While concerns about the build-out of energy-hungry data centers across the country are spurring authentic local opposition, there is also little doubt that America’s enemies are encouraging the resistance.

In 2023, the New York Times published a report detailing their investigation into Neville Roy Singham, an American Marxist based in Shanghai who, according to the Times, "works closely with the Chinese government media machine and is financing its propaganda worldwide."

At the time, Singham had funneled "at least" $275 million into leftist US nonprofits like Code Pink, The People's Forum, BreakThrough News, the Justice and Education Fund, and Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. The Times documented that these groups are interconnected, sharing staff and content; the Times writes that Singham also "shares office space — and his groups share staff members — with a company whose mission is educating foreigners about "the miracles that China has created on the world stage."

Though he denies it, investigative reports and congressional leaders argue Singham's network advances China's strategic goals. Beijing’s main objective today is to race ahead of the U.S. in AI. President Xi cannot count on Chinese tech innovators, so is feverishly trying to hobble America’s data center build-out, the infrastructure essential to continued American dominance. Singham’s non-profit network is helping by amplifying the anti-data center campaign.

The Bitcoin Policy Institute reported recently that the "Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), a Marxist-Leninist group…whose stated mission is to dismantle American capitalism," is "deeply enmeshed" in local groups fighting against data center construction. The group’s leaders come from Singham’s non-profit network and the PSL has been effective in delaying or blocking about $24 billion in proposed AI-infrastructure investment.

REPORT: CHINESE PROPAGANDA, SINGHAM NETWORK, FOREIGN DARK MONEY LINKED TO CAMPAIGNS AGAINST DATA CENTERS

BPI writes, "The Singham network’s campaign against American AI has been years in the making"; it catalogs the "seeding [of] anti-data-center talking points well before the local fights began." For instance, the PSL's Communist paper, "Liberation News", published a piece in 2025 blaming rising electricity bills in Illinois to the data center boom, declaring the facilities "are generating massive profits for some, but leave workers with more bills and devastate the environment."

JIM BANKS, GOP LAWMAKERS RALLY BEHIND DOJ PROBE INTO ALLEGED CCP-LINKED FUNDING NETWORK

In June, in response to the BPI reporting, the House Energy and Commerce Committee demanded the White House and the FBI investigate foreign efforts to block the American data center buildout. The attack on AI progress is complex; the Manhattan Institute's Stu Smith wrote that the PSL and other Singham network groups are "not just one group or one campaign. It is an ecosystem of overlapping organizations, causes, and front-facing projects that all reinforce each other locally."

According to BPI findings, campaigns tied to the Singham network have contributed to delaying or restricting projects in East Charlotte, North Carolina, Prince George's County, Maryland and elsewhere.

The AI industry’s brilliant CEOs have been astonishingly slow to counter the anti-data center propaganda. Only recently have the firms begun a counter-narrative highlighting the increased tax dollars and other benefits generated by their companies. For example, in Richland Parish, Louisiana, a giant Meta data center produced a spike in sales tax revenue which, in turn, led to teachers receiving a bonus of nearly $51,000, more than many of them make in an entire year.

In Loudon County, Virginia, some 250 data centers are expected to provide $1.3 billion in taxes, or roughly 40% of the county’s total 2027 tax revenue. For local residents, that’s some payoff.

Americans concerned about their energy bills or worried that data centers are consuming too much water are demanding legislators protect their interests, and rightly so. The fix is not difficult, and some states are already passing bills that will require hyperscalers to provide their own electricity and limit the water used in cooling the vast computers enabling the AI boom.

Americans are also worried that AI will steal their jobs. But the truth is, with millions of Boomers (finally) retiring, a declining birth rate and an exodus of immigrants further shrinking our workforce, the U.S. needs AI to provide the labor to drive our economy forward. Young people may have to reassess which fields will be most promising, but their future will without a doubt be enhanced, and not crushed, by the most powerful technological development ever created. Those who learn how to use AI will be rewarded; those who fight it will be run over.

Overlaying the opposition to AI is a mindless hatred of President Donald Trump, who won the support of our technology leaders because he offered an economy driven by cheap energy and unhampered by the suffocating regulations and green policies of Joe Biden and his Democrat colleagues. The Left’s attack on AI-fueled growth and the billionaires creating the investment surge scratches more than one itch.

AI backlash has become a hot political weapon in the upcoming midterms, with both Republican and Democrat candidates opposing the data center build-out. The stakes are high; only China will benefit from that opposition. Senator John Fetterman gets it, writing on X, "AI supremacy and energy dominance underpins our national security." He is correct.

America Needs AI to Survive. Working families also need to survive it

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 05:00:22 -0400

Every few weeks, another multibillion-dollar AI data center is announced. The numbers keep getting bigger. So do the grid demands, the water consumption, and the land footprints.

A tech giant celebrates a new milestone. A small town wonders what it just signed away.

That disconnect deserves far more urgency than the latest LLM benchmark or model release.

KEVIN O'LEARY WARNS CHINA IS WINNING THE AI RACE BECAUSE U.S. STATES ARE SLOWING DATA CENTER PRODUCTION

The United States has no choice but to lead in artificial intelligence. China is investing aggressively, treating the technology as a geopolitical imperative. AI will dictate military capability, scientific breakthroughs, and economic hegemony for the next half-century. Falling behind is a luxury we cannot afford.

Winning, however, requires more than chips and capital. It requires a domestic social contract.

The American public has accepted massive technological disruption before because progress eventually minted a ticket to the middle class. Railroads built towns. Automobile factories created generational wealth. The internet launched millions of micro-economies and entirely new career paths. Workers lost jobs along the way, but they could always see new doors opening.

AI feels different. Because it is different.

SEN BERNIE SANDERS: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS COMING FOR THE WORKING CLASS. WE MUST FIGHT BACK

The empires building it are scaling to multi-trillion-dollar valuations while requiring a fraction of the headcount of the industrial giants that came before them. Compounding that anxiety, the jobs AI threatens sit squarely in the middle-class professional tier. Software developers. Designers. Accountants. Corporate marketers. Legal analysts. These are people who spent decades believing that a specialized college degree was an absolute shield against automation.

That reality carries explosive political and social consequences.

I spend a significant amount of time in boardrooms advising directors on AI strategy. The conversation almost always centers on velocity. How fast can we deploy? How much productivity can we unlock? What market share can we capture?

Almost no one asks the foundational question:

How long will the public support this pace of change if they believe they are bearing the infrastructure costs while a handful of zip codes collect the rewards?

That question belongs on every board agenda today.

DEMOCRATS SOUND ALARM OVER AI JOB APOCALYPSE — BUT LABOR MARKET ISN'T FOLLOWING SCRIPT

The surrounding debate usually retreats to predictable ideological corners. One side argues the government should simply tax and redistribute the wealth AI creates. The other promises that breakthroughs in medicine and science will eventually lift all boats.

Neither answer addresses the psychological reality of the American worker. People rarely oppose technology because they dislike progress; they oppose it when they realize progress no longer includes them.

SILICON VALLEY IS LOSING THE DATA CENTER FIGHT, RISKING A REPEAT OF A CLASSIC FAILURE

Every extractive industry in history eventually had to learn this lesson. Oil companies learned it. Mining conglomerates learned it. Wind and solar developers are learning it now. Communities supplying the land, the electricity, the water, and the political baseline expect more than a corporate ribbon-cutting and a dozen permanent jobs.

AI infrastructure providers must anticipate the same reckoning.

When a tech company builds a data center designed to operate for decades, the host community should be able to point to an asset that will actually endure for generations.

We need to see permanently upgraded municipal electric grids. Dedicated AI institutes at local community colleges. Standardized apprenticeship programs that route local residents into high-paying technical careers. Sovereign compute resources reserved for regional universities and homegrown startups. Local venture funds backed by tech capital to help residents build businesses using the very systems their town is hosting.

In short: Leave something meaningful behind.

CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION

None of this is philanthropy. It is an active investment in the social license to operate — the intangible asset upon which every transformational technology ultimately depends. Lose that public trust, and projects stall, local regulations multiply, zoning boards revolt, and expansion grinds to a halt. The AI industry is not immune to public backlash simply because its technology is extraordinary.

America will build astonishing AI systems over the next decade. I have zero doubt about our engineering capacity. The far more critical question is whether we will build a country that still believes those systems are working in its favor.

Surging Dem with DSA ties is 'either a bona-fide socialist, or she's not very smart': GOP rep

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 05:00:22 -0400

Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon's denial that she is a socialist despite her membership in the Democratic Socialists of America should alarm voters as much as her surprise primary victory did, a lawmaker who fled Fidel Castro's Cuba told ӣ��Ƶ Digital.

Nixon, who upset Trump impeachment witness Alexander Vindman in last week's Democratic primary, told NBC News on Sunday that she is "not a socialist," despite acknowledging her DSA membership. She said she joined the far-left group because of its platform on public housing, healthcare, veterans and removing big money from politics.

"She's either a bona-fide socialist, or she's not very smart, because she ended up being a member of the Democratic Socialists of America," Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., told ӣ��Ƶ Digital.

"I don't know what the heck she thought she was joining… Socialists [and] communists, deny what they are until they get into power," Gimenez said. He fled Castro’s Cuba as a child.

FLORIDA DEMOCRAT SENATE NOMINEE ANGIE NIXON INSISTS ‘I’M NOT A SOCIALIST’ AFTER JOINING DSA

Gimenez said he experienced that type of political pivot firsthand after Castro overthrew Fulgencio Batista in 1959.

Castro denied he was a Marxist and a communist early in the revolution but publicly acknowledged on Dec. 2, 1961 that he embraced Leninism and would do so forever, Gimenez recounted.

SOCIALISM WILL 'CONTROL PEOPLE' AND 'TAKE EVERYTHING AWAY' FROM AMERICA, ACCORDING TO THESE EXPATS

Gimenez argued that Nixon’s position, along with those of her DSA allies, "doesn’t sell" to the broader electorate.

"These socialists … are actually using democracy to destroy democracy," Gimenez said, pointing to Venezuela and Nicaragua as examples of movements that initially gained power through elections.

Gimenez said an early act of Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez was to pack the Supreme Court. He argued that socialist and communist regimes typically restructure government so the presidency answers to a single legislative chamber packed with apparatchiks.

"Sound familiar?" he said, drawing a comparison between that history and DSA proposals to abolish the Senate and restructure the Supreme Court.

NICARAGUA'S ORTEGA SAYS COUNTRY WILL 'NEVER AGAIN' HOLD ELECTIONS, SHUTTING OUT OPPOSITION

Gimenez pointed to Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega's July announcement banning future elections after Ortega was democratically elected twice.

Ortega then "eliminated all pretexts of democracy" and plans to jail political opponents, Gimenez said, arguing that the development shows socialism as presented is "a pack of lies."

PROGRESSIVE FLORIDA LAWMAKER ANGIE NIXON TOPPLES TRUMP IMPEACHMENT WITNESS IN DEM SENATE PRIMARY UPSET

Gimenez predicted incumbent Sen. Ashley Moody, R-Fla., will "smoke" Nixon in November. He added that his district, which stretches from Miami to Key West and has a 70% Hispanic population that includes immigrants from Cuba and Venezuela, has "seen this movie before."

"We kind of look at each other and go ‘OK’. Unfortunately, across the nation, it is not the same," Gimenez said, pointing to New York City and Detroit and referencing the rise of Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Abdul El-Sayed.

Before Nixon’s comments, the DSA publicly celebrated what would have been Castro’s 100th birthday while attacking Secretary of State Marco Rubio for upholding the longstanding embargo and accusing him of hurting the Cuban people.

"They blame the embargo for everything," Gimenez said, adding that Rubio — the son of Cuban immigrants — is doing the right things. Gimenez said the embargo has never covered basic necessities such as food or medicine and argued that the only reason Cuba is broke is its leadership.

He noted Cuba used to be a global leader in sugar production but now imports cane.

"Why are they broke? Because they're incompetent. Why are incompetent? Because they are communists," Gimenez said, adding that the DSA is honoring a man who "incarcerated [his] entire island" so that no one can flee.

When socialists defend the Cuban healthcare system, Gimenez said his response is "the Cuban healthcare system... sucks," pointing to hospitals without supplies or medicines and a lack of public access to pharmaceuticals.

"It's okay to deny you all your basic rights as long as they give you healthcare? That's how screwy they are."

Arizona grandpa to undergo amputation after collapsing on scorching sidewalk

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 00:58:34 -0400

An Arizona grandfather is preparing to undergo an above-knee amputation of his right leg after he tripped and fell while walking outside in Bullhead City during 120-degree heat earlier this month, according to his family.

Grant Siler, 72, fell during a walk on Aug. 3 in Bullhead City, causing his body temperature to rise to more than 105 degrees.

The family’s GoFundMe said Siler was on the ground for an estimated at least an hour before a passerby found him. The fundraiser said he suffered second and third-degree burns in multiple areas of his body, heat stroke and multiple organ shock.

He was then taken to a burn ICU in Las Vegas, where he has been cared for since the incident. When he arrived at the facility, doctors discovered he was suffering from heat stroke and organ shock.

"He is in constant pain, can barely move, and has undergone two debridements. Also, he will soon need to undergo surgery for amputation, the extent is not yet known," the GoFundMe reads.

During surgery, a surgeon found that tissue in Siler’s right leg was so severely damaged it was unlikely to fully heal, according to an update posted to the fundraiser.

Siler is scheduled to have his right leg amputated above the knee on Aug. 31, according to FOX 10 Phoenix.

"The plan now is to have an above-knee amputation. The Dr's feel he will overall heal faster and have better pain control this way," the fundraiser reads.

"We can all imagine that after any amputation, the road to recovery is long and hard...physically, mentally and emotionally," it continued.

His wife, Vicki, has been traveling one-and-a-half-hours each way to be with her husband as she continuing to work to support the family’s financial obligations. The family said the couple will also soon have to face medical bills to help with Siler’s recovery.

The family is accepting donations to help with home renovations, home medical supplies, prosthetics and other added costs.

Siler's daughter, Heather Crook, recalled an incident in which he dropped an 80-pound cinderblock on his foot but did not even take a Tylenol.

"He's hurting really bad," Crook told FOX 10. "He's the 'get up and walk it off' type."

"So for him to holler out in pain … it’s really hard to hear. That’s not the kind of person that he is," she added.

Lindsay Clancy trial: Postpartum is real, but child killing demands accountability, veteran prosecutor says

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 00:00:25 -0400

If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

While failures by people, medical professionals and systems around Lindsay Clancy deserve scrutiny, nothing should erase a parent’s responsibility for killing a child, according to a veteran prosecutor who said he's concerned that public support for the Massachusetts mom is overshadowing the killing of her three young children.

Clancy is accused of killing her three young children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months — and trying to end her own life by dropping from a second-floor window after sending her husband to pick up takeout and something from a pharmacy, according to the Plymouth County District Attorney's Office.

But as the case has drawn national attention, Clancy has also attracted supporters both online and in-person at the courthouse, and experts have warned that that support has taken attention away from the victims.

LINDSAY CLANCY'S THREE CHILD VICTIMS FORGOTTEN AMID CROWDS OF SUPPORT: MOTHER OF SIX

"Nobody who murders children is a victim no matter what they’re suffering through," said Jonathan Hatami, a veteran child abuse prosecutor. "You're never a victim if you murder people because victims don't do something. Something happens to them."

GOT A TIP?

The defense does not dispute that Clancy caused the deaths — but she has pleaded not guilty and is contesting criminal responsibility.

Hatami has spearheaded a number of high-profile cases against child abusers in Los Angeles, California, including the murder of 8-year-old Gabriel Fernandez, who was tortured and killed by his mother and her boyfriend.

"Gabriel Fernandez was tortured and murdered by his mom and her boyfriend — however, there were a lot of other people...that were responsible," Hatami told ӣ��Ƶ Digital. "There were a lot of people that missed signs through the eight or nine months of Gabriel's torture. There were a lot of people in government, in law enforcement, social workers, who missed all these different signs that really could have saved Gabriel — and they didn't do it. However, Pearl Fernandez and Isauro Aguirre were ultimately responsible for the torture and murder of Gabriel and were prosecuted for that and they were convicted of that."

In Clancy’s case, he argued, many of the people and systems around her deserve scrutiny — but that should not turn her into the central victim of the story. In his view, she's been too much of the focus.

"Instead of about the three victims who were innocent kids," he said.

While failures of government and the child welfare system were investigated after Gabriel's murder, that didn't take responsibility away from the killers, he said. And in the Clancy case, he said he sees a risk that the focus on her mental health could eclipse the three children who were killed in their own home.

Illegal immigrant accused of fentanyl dealing linked to Virginia high school overdoses

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 21:57:08 -0400

An illegal immigrant from El Salvador who has faced a final deportation order since 2024 was caught and later released on bond at the Texas border in 2016 before his arrest last week for allegedly dealing fentanyl near a Virginia high school, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Isaac Melendez-Carranza, 31, was arrested Aug. 20 and charged with distributing fentanyl within 1,000 feet of a school. He is being held without bond at the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center.

"ICE lodged a detainer on August 20 for Isaac Melendez-Carranza, an illegal alien from El Salvador, with the Loudoun County Jail," a DHS spokesperson told ӣ��Ƶ.

An immigration judge issued Melendez-Carranza a final order of removal on July 18, 2024, according to DHS.

THE BORDER IS CLOSED THANKS TO PRESIDENT TRUMP. IN VIRGINIA, THAT DOESN’T MATTER

Melendez-Carranza was encountered in Sterling, Virginia, less than a month later, on Aug. 16, 2024, but no action was taken, DHS said.

The department cited the Biden administration for the lack of action.

U.S. Border Patrol arrested Melendez-Carranza near Hebbronville, Texas, on May 3, 2016, after he illegally entered the U.S. via the Rio Grande, according to DHS. He was released on bond on July 13, 2016, the department said.

The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office identified Melendez-Carranza as a suspected drug dealer connected to overdoses involving Park View High School students in May.

Deputies seized about 100 pills and approximately $1,000 in cash during a search of his home, FOX 5 DC reported.

Multiple students had been hospitalized following suspected overdoses at Park View High School in May, the outlet said.

Loudoun County Public Schools confirmed at the time that two students suffered nonfatal suspected overdoses during school hours.

Additional students were taken to a local hospital for evaluation after exhibiting symptoms, district officials said.

The school system noted that it was unclear whether the incidents were connected and could not immediately confirm whether controlled substances were involved.

Sheriff Mike Chapman called the case particularly alarming because the illicit drugs were reaching local students.

The sheriff's office said Melendez-Carranza will be turned over to ICE after he is released, Fox 5 DC reported.

"He’s here illegally," Chapman said. "I think he came in about 10 years ago. We shouldn’t be here and maybe if he wasn’t here this would not have happened, so we take that quite seriously. There is a detainer on him from ICE, so once he is done with his charges here, he will be released to ICE."

The sheriff's office said more arrests are possible, but there was no timetable.

Chapman confirmed ICE placed a detainer on Melendez-Carranza, who will be transferred to federal immigration authorities after his local criminal charges are resolved.

Houston Uber driver caught in wild police chase as officers seen on dashcam video hitching a ride in his car

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 21:45:11 -0400

A Houston Uber driver was caught "off guard" but kept his cool when two police officers jumped into his vehicle and directed him to chase a suspect fleeing on foot, wild dashcam video shows.

Anthony Baines said he was driving for Uber at about 12:20 a.m. Aug. 8 in a Houston Heights neighborhood, when a shirtless man ran across the street in front of his vehicle with two Houston Police Department officers close behind, according to Storyful.

The video shows Baines getting waved down by an officer and stopping as she approaches and hops into the front passenger seat.

"Hey, give me a ride over there please," the officer says in the video. "Go, go that way … go, go, go, go, go!"

Baines can be heard asking which way he should drive as officers point him in the direction of the suspect. After driving a short distance, the officer signals for her partner, who's carrying a flashlight, to get in the vehicle, too, and opens the car door and jumps into the backseat.

The officers rode with Baines for several minutes while searching the area before one of them appeared to spot the suspect. Both officers jump out of the Uber and resume their pursuit on foot.

"What the f---?!" Baines is heard saying as the officers dart from his car.

"It caught me completely off guard," Baines told Storyful. "I’ve never had anything like that happen driving. I was surprised but just did what the officer asked in the moment."

Houston police confirmed the authenticity of the video and the incident to KPRC 2, which reported officers had been responding to a terroristic threat call involving allegations that the suspect threatened to shoot a woman and her children after becoming upset over a belief that someone had stolen from him.

Police said officers tried to detain the man as he left an apartment, but he refused to cooperate and ran away. An officer asked the driver to take them around the block to the apartment complex, where the officers returned to their own vehicle, according to KPRC.

Despite the unusual assistance, police did not locate the suspect. His identity has not been released, and the investigation remains ongoing.

"Yep, that was me," he wrote. "The Uber driver whose dashcam caught two HPD officers jumping in my car to chase a suspect."

Abdul El-Sayed grilled on past statements on Sharia law and White supremacy, taxing the rich

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 21:40:40 -0400

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed was grilled in a fiery interview on "Jesse Watters Primetime" Monday on his progressive policy positions as he sparred over his high-stakes Senate race against former Republican congressman Mike Rogers.

El-Sayed was challenged over his stated adherence to Sharia law, which was recently criticized by Vice President JD Vance, as well as previous remarks in which he linked efforts to eliminate Sharia law to White supremacy.

"Nobody is trying to push Sharia law on anyone else, just like I hope nobody is trying to push Canon law on anybody else, because we live in an America where you should have the freedom of your religion," he told host Jesse Watters.

VANCE UNLOADS ON EL-SAYED OVER SHARIA REMARKS: ‘THAT’S NOT MY GRANDPA’S DEMOCRATIC PARTY’

El-Sayed, who said he would "never" push his faith on someone else, argued that there is evidence proving the Trump administration has targeted him because he is Muslim.

"There's statistical evidence that the president and the vice president like to target me simply as a function of my faith," he said.

The Democratic nominee condemned Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., over his proposed legislation that would prevent foreign nationals advocating for Sharia law from entering the U.S., including the No Sharia Act and Preserving a Sharia Free America Act.

"The idea, that you have somebody like Tommy Tuberville – who barely was good at coaching football – is out here trying to ban Sharia Law when there's less than 1% of the Muslim community in America, as if somehow Muslims are out here trying to push Sharia law, that seems to me to be deliberately targeting the Muslim Community, because they're different," he said.

EL-SAYED'S AGENDA PUTS ‘PERMANENTLY’ CHANGED AMERICA ON THE LINE IN MICHIGAN SENATE RACE, GOP FIREBRAND WARNS

El-Sayed and Watters later clashed over the Democratic nominee’s proposal to raise taxes on the wealthy.

"I also think we got to start taxing wealth for people who know have over $100 million. I mean at that point like what are gonna even do with more money?," El-Sayed said Wednesday on "The Ansari Podcast."

"What are you going to do with more money? Whatever I want!" Watters said in response to El-Sayed’s podcast remarks.

El-Sayed, who has repeatedly railed against "the 1%" as a malign influence on American politics, defended his tax-the-wealthy stance, arguing it is aimed at improving the lives of average Americans, including in infrastructure and education.

EL-SAYED MAY BE 'FULL-BLOWN COMMUNIST' DESPITE SOCIALIST DENIAL: TOP REPUBLICAN

"The question ultimately is, ‘Do you want to drive on good roads, or would you rather have a billionaire make a second billion?’ That's what Mike Rogers wants. That's why Donald Trump wants. Apparently, that's what you want. I think the people in Michigan want something different," he said.

While El-Sayed has repeatedly criticized the influence of wealthy Americans on the campaign trail, he and his wife reported $686,069 in income in 2025, placing their household among Michigan’s top earners.

LIZ PEEK: MICHIGAN CAN STOP THE SOCIALIST FEVER RAGE — OR WATCH IT SWALLOW THE SENATE

El-Sayed accused Watters of "defending billionaires," to which the host responded, "No, I just think I have the right to the fruits of my own labor. That's America. It's not communist what you're talking about."

El-Sayed countered that billionaires would remain financially secure even if they faced higher taxes.

"If we tax you at 7%, you're still going to make what? A cool $30 million off your billion dollars? I think that's okay, they're going to be okay, Jesse," he said.

El-Sayed also took aim at Rogers, calling his opponent in Michigan’s Senate race a "beta" male who "thinks he is running against Hasan Piker."

He accused Rogers of dodging interviews, though El-Sayed himself seemed to dodge questions during his "Jesse Watters Primetime" appearance about men in women’s sports and him previous characterization of the NFL as racist.

The Democratic Senate candidate also argued that considering reparations for Black Americans "shouldn’t be a crazy thing" and that the U.S. shouldn’t be fighting wars "we don’t know how to get out of," referencing the Iran conflict.

Trump administration proposes six-figure price tag for new H-1B visas

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 21:30:02 -0400

The Trump administration unveiled a proposal on Monday to codify an unprecedented fee of more than $100,000 for cap-subject H-1B petitions for highly skilled foreign workers, replacing a charge first imposed by presidential proclamation last year that has thus far been blocked by a federal court.

The Department of Homeland Security's proposed rule would charge $103,265 as an additional fee for every H-1B petition subject to the annual statutory cap, including petitions eligible for the advanced-degree exemption.

The worker visas are heavily relied on in the tech, education and research industries.

The fee would be used to cover the federal government’s costs of administering the legal immigration system, including actions carried out by DHS and the Department of Justice, Department of State and Department of Labor.

FEDERAL JUDGE STRIKES DOWN TRUMP’S $100K H-1B VISA FEE, RULING IT AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL TAX

"The proposed H‑1B fee is intended to recover the costs incurred across the federal government to adjudicate, vet, and support lawful immigration programs that otherwise must be funded by taxpayers," U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services spokesperson Zach Kahler said in a news release.

The fee, which was first temporarily imposed by President Donald Trump's administration last year, was blocked by a federal judge in June in an order that barred the federal government from collecting the money.

An appeals court is reviewing the judge's decision while a different court considers whether a challenge to the fee by a major business group was properly rejected.

The temporary fee increase expires next month, one year after it was issued. The proposed rule by DHS was posted for public inspection Monday and is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on Tuesday. It would make the $103,265 fee permanent.

The charge could be finalized by the end of the year.

The H-1B program allows U.S. employers to hire foreign workers with training in specialty occupations, with 65,000 of these visas offered annually under the regular cap.

Another 20,000 are offered for workers with a master’s degree or higher from a U.S. institution, generally granted for up to three years but typically extendable to a total of six years. Those visas typically came with fees between $2,000 and $5,000 before Trump's order, according to Reuters.

The proposed fee would apply to all cap-subject H-1B petitions, including petitions filed for some foreign students already in the United States seeking to change to H-1B status. It would not apply to cap-exempt H-1B petitions; routine extensions for current H-1B holders generally are not subject to the annual cap.

Trump has argued that the H-1B program is abused by many companies who replace American workers with cheaper foreign labor. But business groups and many U.S. companies have contended that the program is needed to address a lack of qualified American workers for certain jobs and to allow American firms to bring in the most skilled workers to support the U.S. economy.

According to court filings, about 70 employers had paid the $100,000 fee on a total of 85 visa applications as of late February.

The fee is being challenged by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce of Democratic-led states and a coalition of labor unions and employers.

Those complaints could be altered to challenge the rule proposed this week once it is finalized.

The Trump administration has also ordered increased vetting of H-1B applicants and proposed a new visa selection process that would favor higher-skilled and better-paid workers.

Earlier this month, DHS added fees of up to $4,500 to applications to extend the stay of H-1B workers or to transfer employees based in other countries to the U.S.

Ex-Lakers player speaks out in defense of Enes Kanter, doubles down against WNBA's trans issue

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 21:08:40 -0400

Ex-Los Angeles Lakers forward Matt Ryan isn't staying quiet after watching Enes Kanter Freedom get escorted out of Wintrust Arena on Sunday night for standing up for female athletes.

Ryan didn't hold back in Freedom's Instagram comments after the ejection, calling out the WNBA for failing to stand up for female athletes as the league's position on the trans issue keeps falling apart.

He doesn't understand why Enes is catching so much heat.

"Just insane times we are living in," Ryan commented on Freedom’s Instagram on Monday.

"Getting demonized for trying to PROTECT women's sports and calling out the absurdity that the WNBA cannot define what the W is... just unreal and sad. Hopefully you'll force them to come to their senses, be REAL leaders, and protect the future young women."

CLUELESS WNBA ATTACKS 'BAD-FAITH' FANS WHO DON'T WANT BIOLOGICAL MEN RUINING WOMEN'S SPORTS

Ryan's support for Enes came after Freedom was booted late in the third quarter following a heated courtside exchange with Sky guard Natasha Cloud.

Kanter Freedom was sitting baseline in support of Fever guard Sophie Cunningham, an outspoken advocate for protecting women's sports.

ENES KANTER FREEDOM OPENS UP ON CONFRONTATION WITH NATASHA CLOUD THAT LED TO EJECTION, WNBA PURSUIT

Before tip-off, Freedom was met by a hostile crowd outside the arena.

Rather than walking back his words after they went viral, Ryan pulled a Sophie Cunningham, heading over to X to double down on his message.

"Yes. This is an '80-20' topic, with [more than] 80% of the country having the most basic of common sense - being able to clearly define what a woman is, and recognizing someone not born as a woman should not participate in women’s sports. There is no transphobia involved in this stance. Every human in the US is free to live as they choose. However, others should not be forced to adhere to absurdity for the sake of feelings.

"The W has a golden opportunity to be PRO- women and protect their league’s integrity. It shouldn’t be difficult. Enes has ZERO intention of stepping foot on a WNBA court - if you can’t recognize that l, I’m not sure how to help you. He’s simply, and very publicly, challenging the highest league in women’s basketball to do what is right."

In an interview with ӣ��Ƶ Digital's Jackson Thompson following his ejection, Freedom explained what triggered the altercation.

WNBA PLAYER NATASHA CLOUD FIRES OFF PRO-TRANS MESSAGE FOLLOWING ALTERCATION WITH ENES KANTER FREEDOM

According to Freedom, the drama began after a routine play by Cunningham.

"Sophie Cunningham shot a three, and I put my hands up to celebrate," Freedom said to ӣ��Ƶ Digital. "Literally, a couple possessions later, Natasha came back and started screaming and yelling and said, 'She's not gonna sleep with you.' And I was like, 'I am not trying to sleep with her. I'm just here to protect women and support her.'"

ENES KANTER FREEDOM EXPOSES NATASHA CLOUD'S PROFANE TIRADE ON 'INGRAHAM ANGLE' AFTER WNBA EJECTION

Freedom said Cloud immediately escalated the exchange with explicit language in front of family audiences.

"She started to use some very heavy language, she started to actually cuss," Freedom said. "I was very shocked that there were a lot of kids and teenagers at that game... using those F-bombs in front of all these kids. That’s not a WNBA athlete reaction."

The courtside exchange nearly stole the spotlight from Indiana’s 113-90 blowout victory. Afterward, Fever superstar Caitlin Clark said she did not see the incident and referred questions to Chicago. Fever head coach Stephanie White dismissed the incident as a "social media thing," while Sky forward Azura Stevens called it a routine "fan incident."

Regardless of those attempts to downplay the scene, Freedom made clear that WNBA leadership is facing a reckoning it can no longer dodge.

ROYCE WHITE PREDICTS ENES KANTER FREEDOM WILL BE SUSPENDED FROM WNBA EVENTS AFTER RUN IN WITH NATASHA CLOUD

"The WNBA has no idea what they're about to face," Freedom noted. "They're still trying to figure out what a woman is. So let's see if they can figure that out... let's see what kind of rules that they're gonna come up with."

With players like Ryan publicly backing Freedom and calling out the league's ideological confusion, the WNBA's attempt to sweep the arena fallout under the rug is failing fast.

Rob Manfred addresses possibility of cancelling 2027 Major League Baseball season: 'We want to play'

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 20:57:10 -0400

The 2026 Major League Baseball season is rapidly drawing to a close, and there are multiple compelling storylines to follow.

Impressively, the American League is potentially set to make the wrong kind of history with several teams under .500 in postseason position. For once, there's a legitimate competition for National League MVP, with Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong giving now-annual winner Shohei Ohtani a run for his money.

Speaking of Ohtani, his team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, have recovered from a lengthy losing streak to put themselves in position to secure a first round bye. As baseball's new villains, the Dodgers' fate in October will be the most talked about storyline. Win a third straight championship and fans, incorrectly, will complain about competitive balance in baseball. Lose in the NLDS or NLCS? They'll be "chokers" that deserve eternal scorn.

WITH ONE MONTH LEFT, AMERICAN LEAGUE TEAMS ARE HEADING TOWARDS AN EMBARRASSING, HISTORIC LOW

And that outcome might determine the likelihood of a 2027 season too. Not for any legitimate reason, but because the league's billionaire owners are committed to using misguided fan sentiment to push for their ultimate dream: increasing profits and reducing the percentage of revenue that goes to players through a salary cap. With the Collective Bargaining Agreement set to expire at the end of the year, there's a possibility, if not likelihood, that the owners lock the players out on December 1.

During Sunday night's Little League Classic game between the Atlanta Braves and Milwaukee Brewers, commissioner Rob Manfred joined the broadcast and wasn't exactly reassuring when talking about the possibility that the lockout could drag on well into the 2027 season.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL HAS A HUGE PROBLEM BREWING FOR THE 2026-2027 OFFSEASON

"We're meeting regularly, which is good," Manfred said during the ESPN broadcast. "Every week, we've had days where we've met with the players. It's early, but we've got a lot of work to do, and we're at it."

OUTKICK IS NOW ON THE FOX APP: CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD

Sounds good, right? Meetings are happening. Conversations are happening. Maybe there's hope. Well, about that.

"Look, our goal is to make a deal. We want to make a deal. We want to play baseball next year. We're planning on playing baseball next year," Manfred said.

"We want," is not "we will." "We're planning" is also not "we will."

WORLD SERIES CHAMPION JOHN SMOLTZ WARNS MLB 'CANNOT AFFORD' A WORK STOPPAGE WITH CBA SET TO EXPIRE

Obviously, the two sides are engaged in active negotiations, and as such, Manfred may not want to weaken his bargaining position by giving too much away. He's also smart enough to know the position baseball is in right now, with attendance and ratings growing and the Dodgers giving the other 29 fanbases a compelling foil.

But it's still a bit disconcerting to hear "want" and "planning" when the future popularity of the sport is at stake. Baseball can't afford a lengthy work stoppage or, God forbid, the cancellation of the 2027 season. Young, exciting players like Crow-Armstrong, Bobby Witt Jr., Konnor Griffin, Paul Skenes, Jacob Misiorowski, Junior Caminero, Jordan Walker, Gunnar Henderson, J.J. Wetherholt and Kevin McGonigle are helping the league build momentum.

Losing out on a year of development, growth, and excitement is simply not an option. Hopefully Manfred realizes that, public comments aside.

More details about Jed York's arrest in a prostitution sting come to light and begs questions about the 49ers

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 20:45:13 -0400

More details continue to pour in about the "engaging in prostitution" arrest charges and subsequent conviction on lesser charges of San Francisco 49ers majority owner Jed York.

York was arrested in his native Ohio on Sunday on one charge of "engaging in prostitution" and another charge of "possessing criminal tools." And while the more salacious charge was downgraded to "disorderly conduct" in a plea deal with the prosecutor, it is that initial charge on which York was arrested and arraigned that sticks in the minds fans, media, everybody.

It's the embarrassing charge that raises eyebrows because York is reportedly worth $500 million and the family fortune is believed to hover around $8.5 billion, but he allegedly tried to enlist the services of a prostitute for $140.

49ERS OWNER JED YORK ARRESTED FOR 'ENGAGING IN PROSTITUTION' IN OHIO, PLEADS NO CONTEST TO LESSER CHARGES

Did we tell you that York's legal team immediately filed a motion to seal court records?

The motion was denied.

And so here comes the details not in the original OutKick story that have since come to light via reporting:

York responded to an advertisement on Sunday from what police say is a known prostitution website in Columbiana County, Ohio. He allegedly "arranged to have sexual activity with a female in exchange for $140," per police.

The meeting with the prostitute was supposed to happen near the Wheat Hill Mobile Home Community – a trailer park in East Palestine, Ohio.

In fact, York had fallen for a police sting by the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force and the NFL owner was intercepted by officers when he approached the trailer park.

FLORIDA ATTORNEY GENERAL SUBPOENAS NFL AS PART OF NEW PROBE INTO ROONEY RULE AND OTHER DEI PROGRAMS

York was taken into custody by the East Palestine police.

The mobile home park, by the way, claims it is a victim of circumstances. It's Facebook account posted that Park addresses were not being used in the sting operation, but rather that's where cops happened to catch up to York.

"This news of this arrest in our quiet community is just as shocking to us as to the rest of you," the post reads.

York was taken into custody when he was found in possession of the cell phone that was used to set up the alleged rendezvous with the person he allegedly believed to be a hooker.

The phone in York's possession "was used to arrange the criminal act," according to court records and that is the reason he was also charged with "possessing criminal tools."

York pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor plea deal charges of disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools, per court records.

The NFL previously told OutKick that this matter will be reviewed by the league under the Personal Conduct Policy.

In 2014, the NFL updated its conduct policy and specifically warned those beyond the field that it applies to them.

BRANDON AIYUK'S SOCIAL MEDIA POST MOCKING KYLE SHANAHAN'S CAR CRASH DRAWS BACKLASH AND COULD COST HIM A JOB

"It is a privilege to be part of the National Football League," the policy states. "Everyone who is part of the league must refrain from conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in the NFL. This includes owners, coaches, players, other team employees, game officials, and employees of the league office, NFL Films, NFL Network or any other NFL business."

The policy also leaves little room to question whether York will simply walk away from this incident without a penalty from the league.

"If you are convicted of a crime or subject to a disposition of a criminal proceeding, you are subject to discipline," the policy states. "But even if your conduct does not result in a criminal conviction, if the league finds that you have engaged in conduct [prohibited by the policy], you will be subject to discipline."

York got arrested. He pleaded no contest on two criminal charges. And he has brought negative attention to the NFL.

The 49ers on Monday declined to comment on the York arrest and plea deal, citing the episode is closed.

But this won't be over until the NFL rules.

And it represents an ongoing set of curious events involving this club.

Coach Kyle Shanahan on July 14 was involved in a head-on crash in Palo Alto, California, when he admittedly dropped his phone, and took his eyes off the road and hands off the wheel of his Tesla.

Shanahan said he had the vehicle's autopilot engaged but hit an oncoming car head on. He was eventually found at fault in the accident. Both the coach and the driver of the other car suffered injuries.

Receiver Brandon Aiyuk was issued a Santa Clara County arrest warrant on a misdemeanor charge of exhibition of speed in June after he posted video of himself driving more than 100 mph near Levi’s Stadium on a road with a 40-mph limit.

As was noted on social media about the team's set of misdemeanor charges recently:

Syria off US terror blacklist after nearly 50 years as Trump admin clears investment hurdle

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 20:34:54 -0400

The United States on Monday formally removed Syria from its list of state sponsors of terrorism, a move Secretary of State Marco Rubio said eliminates the final major barriers to investment and economic recovery in the country.

Rubio said in a statement that he had authorized the formal rescission after a mandatory 45-day congressional notification period ended.

President Donald Trump had initiated the countdown in July after confirming to Congress that Syria’s government had ceased supporting acts of international terrorism.

"I have also delisted Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham’s (HTS) designation as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT)," Rubio said Monday.

FORMER ASSAD-ERA PRISON CHIEF CONVICTED OF TORTURE IN US FEDERAL COURT, MARKING A HISTORIC FIRST

The actions, he said, represent "another historic step by President Trump to give the Syrian people a path to prosperity."

Rubio said Washington had taken unprecedented steps over the past year to provide sanctions relief to the Syrian people.

He pointed to Trump’s June 2025 executive order, "Providing for the Revocation of Syria Sanctions," which accelerated sanctions relief by terminating the Syria Sanctions Program and the national emergency with respect to Syria while directing reviews of other Syria-related sanctions and terrorist designations.

"These actions were all taken in recognition of the positive actions taken and further commitments by the Syrian government under President Ahmed al-Sharaa to fully distance Syria from acts of international terrorism," Rubio said of the Syrian government.

Al-Sharaa ousted President Bashar al-Assad in December 2024 in an offensive led by HTS rebels. Syria had been on the State Sponsors of Terrorism list since 1979, with the designation in force throughout al-Assad’s rule.

"In the past year, the Government of Syria has taken significant steps to counterterrorism, to include formally joining the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS in November and conducting operations to disrupt the terror networks of ISIS, al-Qa’ida, Hizballah, and Iran-aligned groups," Rubio said.

He added that rescinding Syria’s designation as a state sponsor of terrorism and HTS’ designation as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist "eliminates the final major barriers for private-sector investment in Syria and promotes Syria’s economic recovery and reintegration into the global economy."

Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani told Reuters on Aug. 22 that lifting the designation would help restore Syria’s links to the global financial system and encourage investment following nearly 14 years of war.

"There is no longer any obstacle to investment, doing business and rebuilding economic life in Syria," he said.

"Today’s action will help foster additional investment in Syria to promote political and economic stability," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also said in a statement, adding that it is "in line with President Trump’s promise to deliver sanctions relief to Syria."

The governor of the Central Bank of Syria said Monday that lifting Syria’s designation as a state sponsor of terrorism is a "historic step that returns it to its natural place within the global economic system."

On Monday, Trump also posted a photo on Truth Social of al-Sharaa and al-Shibani holding his signed June 2025 executive order directing sanctions relief for Syria.

Trump admin eyes historic mass visa revocation targeting up to 200K asylum seekers: report

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 20:17:47 -0400

The Trump administration is reportedly preparing to revoke business and tourist visas held by as many as 200,000 foreigners who have applied for asylum in the U.S.

The State Department is expected to announce the sweeping action in the coming weeks, The Associated Press reported, citing internal documents and two U.S. officials.

The effort would target B1 and B2 visas issued between 2016 and 2026 to foreigners who later sought asylum. If carried out, the move would mark the largest mass visa revocation in U.S. history and could face legal challenges, according to the outlet.

FOREIGN DRUNK DRIVERS COULD FACE SWIFT BOOT OUT OF COUNTRY UNDER TRUMP'S 'AMERICA FIRST' CRACKDOWN

"We are coordinating with DHS to identify and revoke the nonimmigrant visas of foreigners who have come to the United States claiming to be short-term visitors, but then file for asylum to stay here permanently," State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott said in a statement.

Pigott did not confirm how many people could be affected, saying the revocations would occur on a "rolling basis" and the total remained "dynamic," according to the AP.

The move would not automatically lead to immediate deportations.

Foreigners with pending asylum cases would generally be reclassified but would lose their status as business or tourist travelers, officials told the AP.

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ORDERS GREEN CARD APPLICANTS TO LEAVE THE US, APPLY FROM THEIR HOME COUNTRIES

Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said Monday that asylum should not be used to bypass immigration laws.

"People in the US and all over the world are fed up with bogus asylum claims," Landau wrote on X. "Asylum isn’t supposed to be a loophole to circumvent immigration law."

The potential revocations come as the Trump administration cracks down on what it considers abuse of the immigration system. The State Department has revoked roughly 175,000 visas over the past 18 months, according to The Associated Press.

Ex-NBA player tells Laura Ingraham why WNBA can't ban him: 'I identify as a woman'

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 20:15:17 -0400

Former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom joined Laura Ingraham on "The Ingraham Angle" Monday night to set the record straight following his chaotic courtside ejection from Sunday's Indiana Fever-Chicago Sky matchup.

Freedom was escorted out of Wintrust Arena late in the third quarter after Chicago Sky guard Natasha Cloud unleashed an explicit, profanity-laced tirade against him after simply celebrating a 3-pointer by Fever guard Sophie Cunningham.

Freedom, who sat baseline wearing a shirt defining "woman" as an "adult human female," explained to Ingraham that he attended purely out of love for basketball and to back Cunningham, an athlete who has faced relentless backlash for defending female sports.

ENES KANTER FREEDOM MET WITH HOSTILE WNBA FANS EN ROUTE TO FEVER-SKY MATCHUP

But after Freedom put his hands up following a made bucket, Cloud immediately confronted him with personal insults, mocking and screaming that Cunningham was "not going to sleep" with him.

"I actually loved the game and enjoyed the game," Freedom told Ingraham.

"This is my passion... first half I watched the game; it was an amazing time. They put Sophie Cunningham in. I remember around the last three-minute mark she shot the ball and I put my hand in the air to celebrate it. Then Natasha Cloud saw that. Literally the next possession, (Cloud) came back and yelled at me, '(Sophie Cunningham) is not going to sleep with you.'"

Freedom admitted the outburst left him stunned.

"I'm just confused at that point," Freedom said. "I'm here to protect women and support Sophie Cunningham."

Cloud escalated the confrontation with a slew of F-bombs in front of a section filled with young children, Kanter noted.

"The next possession, (Cloud) started to yell and cuss at me," Freedom said.

"I was like, there are so many kids in those stands. There are so many teenagers... a lot of F-bombs. She started to come toward me and I literally got up... I'm like, what did I do? She should be the one to be thrown out of the game."

SKY COACH PRAISES NATASHA CLOUD AFTER HEATED VERBAL ALTERCATION WITH ENES KANTER FREEDOM

Instead of penalizing Cloud for charging at Enes and dropping vulgarities, arena security escorted Freedom out of the building.

Enes’ shirt has apparently become kryptonite for a WNBA still unable to answer the most basic question in women’s sports.

What is a woman?

"I'm shocked it's a controversial topic nowadays, but it is," Freedom noted.

After Enes' appearance on Sunday, the league sneakily drew a line in the sand, telling media outlets like Front Office Sports that Kanter Freedom will not be eligible to get drafted into the WNBA.

He reminded them of their loose standard of what a woman is.

"I am a woman. I should be allowed to play," Kanter told Ingraham. "Article 13 Section 1 says if you identify as a woman, then you are allowed to play. I identify as a woman, so yes I can play."

"They're terrified because I might actually get drafted next year."

Enes' primetime appearance comes as former NBA pick Royce White warned the WNBA will likely attempt to ban Freedom from future games to protect themselves on a PR level and dodge further scrutiny over its gender policies.

While Fever head coach Stephanie White tried to play media gatekeeper postgame by labeling the chaos a mere "social media thing," Freedom's interview proves the opposite.

John Harbaugh calls it 'reasonable to assume' Malik Nabers will be available for Giants in Week 1 vs Cowboys

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 20:06:02 -0400

Malik Nabers has shocked many New York Giants fans in training camp with just how great he looks on the gridiron with his teammates after an offseason shrouded in mystery and doubt about whether he’d be ready for Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys on "Sunday Night Football."

Now, after practicing without a red non-contact jersey Monday, head coach John Harbaugh gave yet another encouraging update on the Giants 2024 first-round pick that points in the right direction for his availability to start the season.

Harbaugh told reporters Monday that it is "reasonable to assume" Nabers is trending toward being available right out the gate for the Giants, which is an incredible sign for the wide receiver who tore his right ACL and had meniscus damage in Week 4 last season.

"Probably moving the best we’ve seen him look," Harbaugh said about Nabers, as he wore a regular white jersey alongside his fellow receivers during 11-on-11 and 7-on-7 reps on Monday.

In fact, Harbaugh believes that "very reasonable" contact with defenders during practice is something he’d be fine seeing Nabers go through.

ODELL BECKHAM TOLD GIANTS COACH HE'S READY TO 'GO OUT ON MY SWORD' TO EARN ROSTER SPOT

"Those are all kind of things that you can assume," Harbaugh said when asked about Nabers in terms of Week 1 availability. "It’s just based on watching the guy practice. The only thing I know more than you guys know is what the docs and the trainers tell me, as far as his rehab. And that’s doing well. He’s doing really well with that. He’s strong. He’s in a good place."

It wasn’t a fully padded practice for the Giants, but Nabers has been spotted wearing the red non-contact uniform for quite a bit now.

Seeing Nabers not wearing the non-contact jersey, though, is exactly what Harbaugh had planned for the team’s top pass-catching option. He noted not wanting to see Nabers go from no contact to 100% to start the season.

And for Nabers himself, he said last week "my soul has been dead for so long," hinting at how badly he’s wanted to get back on the field and do what he loves. He also noted the "dog" in him is starting to wake up, and he’s only been trending in an upward trajectory since that first training camp practice surprised fans with just how well he was moving in and out of his routes.

Now, it shouldn’t be expected that Nabers gets time in the Giants’ final preseason game against the New York Jets this week. The teams won’t be holding any joint practices either, so Nabers’ journey to Week 1 availability will have to continue against his teammates.

But the build is there, and the LSU product continues to check boxes in his new head coach’s head.

"I thought he looked good. Look at the tape later, but he was moving well. …It was a good practice for him today," Harbaugh said.

Nabers and quarterback Jaxson Dart have developed quite the chemistry already, but the Giants’ 2025 draft choice out of Ole Miss only had one quarter with Nabers during his first career start before the devastating knee injury.

Giants fans are itching to see what Dart, who had 24 total touchdowns in 14 games last season, and Nabers, who had 1,204 yards in 15 games his rookie year in 2024, can do across a full 17-game slate.

The Giants will take on the Cowboys at MetLife Stadium on Sept. 13 in a primetime matchup at 8:20 p.m. ET.

Utah teen charged with killing mother, 8-year-old brother as mystery of final hours unravels: police

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 20:01:16 -0400

A 17-year-old Utah boy is accused of killing his mother and 8-year-old half-brother after prosecutors say a masked figure matching his build was caught on camera roaming the neighborhood in the hours after a late-night shooting.

Saratoga Springs police arrested the teen on Aug. 14 after a 17-month investigation involving dozens of search warrants, hundreds of pieces of evidence and extensive forensic testing, the department said.

The teen was booked into juvenile detention after detectives screened two counts of first-degree murder with the Utah County Attorney’s Office, police said.

Prosecutors later charged him in juvenile court with two counts of aggravated murder and obstruction of justice, according to charging documents obtained by KSL.

16-YEAR-OLD NC GIRL CHARGED IN TRIPLE MURDER OF FAMILY MEMBERS, ARRESTED IN TENNESSEE WITH 28-YEAR-OLD MAN

The state said it intends to seek to move the case to adult district court, the outlet reported. The teen’s identity has not been released because he is a juvenile.

PARENTS FOUND BURIED BEHIND HOME IN WEALTHY NEIGHBORHOOD AS POLICE LAUNCH INTERNATIONAL MANHUNT FOR SON

Police responded to a medical-assist call at the family’s home on Willowbrook Lane on March 28, 2025, and found Jessica Orton Lyman, 44, and Eli Painter, 8, suffering from gunshot wounds. Despite efforts to save them, both died, police said.

The victims’ remains were discovered after Lyman’s teenage daughter returned home the next morning, KSL reported.

A neighboring home-surveillance camera allegedly captured an argument around 11:30 p.m. the night before the victims were found, with voices investigators believe belonged to the teen and the victims.

Near midnight, a woman’s voice consistent with Lyman’s could be heard shouting, "What are you doing?!" Less than two minutes later, three gunshots were heard, one, followed by a brief pause, then two in rapid succession, according to the charging documents.

BRYAN KOHBERGER'S FORMER DEFENSE EXPERT CALLS FOR DEATH PENALTY, SAYS INVESTIGATORS MISSED KEY EVIDENCE

The teen later told investigators that he and his mother had argued that night, KSL reported.

Additional home-surveillance video allegedly showed a masked figure walking through the neighborhood between 2:34 a.m. and 2:59 a.m. on March 28.

Prosecutors said the person was consistent with the teen’s height and build, and that the mask and some clothing appeared consistent with items he had worn. The person’s route and gaps in the video suggested the weapon could have been discarded in several places, including the nearby Jordan River, according to the charging documents.

FBI and Saratoga Springs police dive teams later searched the river and surrounding banks for evidence. Police had previously said they had not recovered firearms in the investigation other than two BB guns found in the teen’s room, KSL reported.

The charging documents also allege investigators found gunshot residue on multiple clothing items, including clothes the teen wore the morning the victims were discovered. His DNA was allegedly found beneath one victim’s fingernails and on the waistband of shorts Lyman was wearing when she died, according to KSL.

DNA BREAKTHROUGH LEADS TO ARREST IN GRISLY 33-YEAR-OLD COLD CASE INVESTIGATORS NEVER GAVE UP ON

A warrant unsealed last year detailed a search of the teen’s room, where detectives allegedly found handwritten notes mentioning "serology," "DNA" and "firearm testing." Another note read, "This is a murder story," KSL reported.

Police said the home was immediately secured as a crime scene and investigators began the extensive work of documenting the scene, collecting evidence, conducting interviews and pursuing leads.

Over the next 17 months, detectives executed dozens of search warrants, collected hundreds of items of evidence and reviewed extensive video, records and other information, police said.

Numerous pieces of evidence were submitted to forensic laboratories, and some examinations required significant time before investigators could take additional steps, according to the department.

"As additional evidence and forensic results became available, detectives continued to evaluate and corroborate the information developed throughout the investigation," Saratoga Springs Police Chief Andrew Burton said following the arrest.

COLD CASE BREAKTHROUGH SOLVES TEEN KILLING AFTER SUSPECT LIVED FREE FOR DECADES: 'BETTER BE AFRAID'

"Most recently, the examination of additional evidence, combined with the totality of the investigative work conducted over the past 17 months, placed our detectives in a position to identify a suspect and establish probable cause for an arrest."

The FBI, Utah State Crime Laboratory, West Jordan Police Department and Utah County Sheriff’s Office Evidence Team assisted in the case, police said.

The department said its work is not finished, and that investigators continue to conduct follow-up interviews and analyze additional information.

The arrest came after Lyman and Eli’s relatives spent more than a year publicly pleading for answers.

"Not a day has passed without feeling the weight of this loss. Our family is forever changed," the Orton family said in a March statement released as the one-year anniversary of the killings approached.

"We miss Jessica and Eli every moment — their laughter, their light, and the love they brought into our lives."

The family said at the time that it knew evidence was still being processed and urged anyone with information to come forward.

IDAHO MURDERS EVIDENCE LEAK TRIGGERS CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION FOR INSIDER WHO SPILLED SECRETS: REPORT

Following the arrest, the Orton family said it was grateful to the agencies that worked on the case but stressed that no prosecution could undo the loss.

"Today’s arrest marks an important step toward justice for our daughter and sister, Jessica Orton Lyman, and our grandson and nephew, Eli Painter," the family said in a statement released through police.

The family said it expects the person responsible to be held "fully accountable for their actions, without excuse, exception, or leniency."

Jason Painter, a family member of both victims, said Lyman was "a devoted mother whose strength and love touched everyone around her," while Eli was "a bright, loving little man whose laughter and curiosity brought joy to everyone who knew him."

"They were so much more than the tragedy that took them," Painter said. "Their lives were filled with love, and they deserved many more years together."

The families said they will continue to honor Jessica and Eli by remembering "the love they shared, the lives they lived, and the legacy they leave behind, not just how they were taken."

Teen hiker's disappearance ends in tragedy at national park with key question remaining

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 19:30:29 -0400

An eight-day search in a remote national park for a missing person has yielded a tragic outcome for a desperate family.

An 18-year-old Australian hiker was found dead in dense bushland, authorities said. Lily Hooper, a teenager from Oakdale, southwest of Sydney, had set out for a hike in the park, according to SBS News, a public broadcaster in Australia — and went missing on Aug. 12.

A body believed to be Hooper's was found in bushland in Nattai National Park, which New South Wales Police described as about 37 miles northwest of the town of Mittagong.

MAN PLUNGES 120 FEET INTO CREEK WHILE TAKING PHOTO AT FAMOUS NATIONAL PARK

Authorities have not determined or released a cause of death.

The outlet reported that Hooper's car was found at the Bonnum Pic trailhead the same night she went missing.

The week-long search ended Thursday morning when "the body of a woman was located in bushland," said NSW Police.

"While yet to be formally identified, the body is believed to be that of the 18-year-old woman," police said late last week, adding that a report would be prepared for the coroner.

YELLOWSTONE OFFICIALS DECIDE FATE OF BISON THAT LAUNCHED GRANDFATHER 8 FEET IN AIR

A volunteer located the body at around 11:30 a.m. on Thursday — but a communication breakdown initially led the young woman's family to believe she had been found alive, said New South Wales Police Assistant Commissioner Joseph Cassar.

"[The family] were [given] initial information [that] the searchers believed she was alive, and that's what was communicated," Cassar told reporters.

"Within eight to 10 minutes we were able to give them an update, which was a more accurate account," he added.

Hooper's death drew commentary from Australia's top political leaders and even prompted a moment of silence in Parliament.

NURSE IMPALED BY POLE DURING HIKE FORCED TO TREK 10 MILES FOR HELP: 'A FREAK THING'

"The tragedy of a parent losing a young one ... is an unspeakable tragedy," Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said, per SBS News. "Lily had so much more to offer the world."

ӣ��Ƶ Digital reached out to New South Wales Police for additional comment.

Jim Hooper, the father of Lily Hooper, praised emergency workers for their diligent efforts to find his daughter and forgave police and all involved for the apparent communication mix-up that she'd been found alive, according to 7NEWS Australia.

"Their hearts and their efforts — I couldn't knock it," he said.

Nattai National Park is known for its rugged hiking, sandstone cliffs and vast bushland, according to the New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service.

The agency separately warns hikers that cliff edges can be unstable or obscured by vegetation, conditions can change rapidly — and many national parks have limited cellphone coverage.

Officials recommend that hikers carry personal locator beacons when venturing into remote areas.

"If you're planning a walk in a remote area, bring a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) as an added safety precaution."

Ole Miss had FBI agent sweep football facility for bugs after Lane Kiffin left for LSU

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 18:59:15 -0400

Would it be shocking to learn that Ole Miss officials had someone with FBI ties help check its football facility in the days following Lane Kiffin’s departure for LSU?

Sure, if college athletics were operating in anything resembling normal times.

But with former NFL players now finding paths back to college football and Congress debating legislation that could limit coaches from leaving during a season, almost nothing feels too absurd anymore.

NCAA Created This Mess, Now LSU Set To Make Dae’Quan Wright College Football’s First NFL Returnee

Walker Jones, the executive director of Ole Miss’ NIL collective, recently appeared on the "Assorted Crackers" podcast — yes, that is the name — to discuss the madness surrounding Kiffin’s exit for LSU.

During a conversation about coaches who were contractually tied to both Ole Miss and LSU, Jones revealed an unreported detail from the days leading up to the Rebels’ College Football Playoff appearance without Kiffin.

Technically, the FBI was involved.

"We actually had the FBI come through and walk the building for bugs and for everything," Walker Jones told 'Assorted Crackers'". "We knew kind of what was in Baton Rouge, and we knew how they operated. I remember getting on my knees and looking underneath the desk, like checking for, 'Is there some sort of bug in my office?'"

PETE GOLDING DROPS UNFILTERED TRUTH ON 'EX' LANE KIFFIN, AND NCAA TAMPERING: 'WHAT HAVE WE CREATED?'

So, did Ole Miss bring in federal agents to sweep its facility for listening devices, straight out of a Jason Bourne movie?

Well, not exactly. But, yes there was a search.

Pete Golding did not deny that the FBI conducted a sweep

On Monday, while Kiffin was fielding questions in Baton Rouge about LSU adding former NFL players to its roster, the questions in Oxford were a bit different.

What exactly happened with that FBI search of the Ole Miss football facility?

Head coach Pete Golding did not deny that a sweep occurred, though he offered an explanation that made far more sense than the image of agents descending on the Manning Center with bug detectors.

"Any bowl game, playoff system, obviously you're gonna up security," Golding told reporters. I'm not sure there was a hiring process of here we go with the FBI. I do think we probably have a current player whose dad just so happens to work for the FBI and that lives in town. There was no measure to go 'oh my gosh, come in from that standpoint'.

"Obviously any time you get into that playoff system and you got guys going from this building to other places (LSU), you want to make sure it's secure for your players. The video access, everything else you're doing regardless where you're at....No, there was no hiring process of 'let's get the FBI in here, holy cow, they start looking around'. It wasn’t anything like that."

When Kiffin left Ole Miss for LSU, he took multiple assistants with him to Baton Rouge. During the chaotic stretch before Ole Miss played Tulane in the College Football Playoff, some coaches were traveling back and forth between Baton Rouge and Oxford.

Kiffin was also expected to target multiple Ole Miss players once the Rebels’ season ended, including Kewan Lacy and Trinidad Chambliss.

LSU’S LANE KIFFIN FIRES BACK AT NFL RETURNEE BACKLASH: BLAME THE NCAA, NOT US FOR RECRUITING PRO ATHLETES

Add in the growing paranoia across college athletics about practice footage and other team materials being illegally accessed through video databases, and it is not hard to understand why Ole Miss took extra precautions.

Shouldn’t be surprised by any of the shenanigans involving Ole Miss and LSU

One of the most chaotic times in recent college athletics memory will one day turn into a movie that will have the feel of a spy-thriller directed by Michael Bay.

Just days before the season begins, coaches are explaining why former NFL players belong back on college rosters. The NCAA is spending what feels like every day in a courtroom. Congress is still being asked to fix a system that has become nearly impossible to govern.

And on Sept. 19, 2025, Ole Miss and LSU will meet in Oxford in a game that already feels destined to become one of the most entertaining weekends of the season.

PETE GOLDING MAKES IT KNOWN HE HAS TAMPERING RECEIPTS, WHILE ALSO ADMITTING KIFFIN TEXTS HIM WAY TOO MUCH

Between talk of "basket-weaving" classes at Ole Miss, Kiffin’s recruiting comments, eligibility lawsuits, Texas Tech’s Brendan Sorsby saga and endless congressional debates, college football needs actual games back in a hurry.

Still, who doesn’t enjoy a good FBI story in college athletics?

Well, perhaps Will Wade — or the folks at Michigan.

Putin ‘panicked’ as defiant Ukraine marks Independence Day under Russian bombardment

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 18:53:40 -0400

Ukraine marked its 35th Independence Day on Monday under the shadow of continued Russian attacks, with one regional security expert arguing that Russian President Vladimir Putin is "panicked" as Ukrainian forces strike deeper inside Russia.

The anniversary, commemorating Ukraine's Aug. 24, 1991, declaration of independence from the Soviet Union, came amid intensified Russian strikes on civilian infrastructure and heightened security concerns after Ukraine's Security Service warned of possible terrorist attacks ahead of the holiday.

European leaders joined Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv for Independence Day events in a show of support as the war grinds on. Zelenskyy declared that Ukraine wants peace but is not prepared to surrender to Moscow's demands.

A Russian drone strike Friday on a packed shopping center in Kryvyi Rih, Zelenskyy’s hometown, killed at least 16 people and injured 130, according to The Associated Press.

'PURE HELL' IN MOSCOW AS UKRAINIAN DRONES STRIKE MAJOR REFINERY SUPPLYING CAPITAL'S FUEL MARKET

Putin has warned that Ukrainian strikes on Russian economic targets open a "Pandora’s box," while Kyiv maintains deep strikes are vital to disrupting Moscow’s logistics.

Ukraine has targeted Russian economic infrastructure, including warehouses belonging to online retailers Wildberries and Ozon.

"The war with Russia has seen a lot of advances for the Ukrainians over this year," former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Carrie Filipetti, now executive director of the Vandenberg Coalition, told ӣ��Ƶ Digital.

"They've recently been able to actually penetrate much deeper into Russian territory, including close to Moscow and St. Petersburg."

"Their success on the military front has now resulted in the Russians getting panicked and starting to attack more inside Ukraine and what they're really trying to do is weaken their will and capabilities," Filipetti said, adding that Putin "gets very anxious when he's put in a corner."

"What we're seeing is these sorts of gasps at trying to retain some kind of control," Filipetti added. "This is why he recently targeted a shopping mall inside Ukrainian territory. He is not focused on targeting military assets. He is really focused on trying to defeat the will of Ukrainians by attacking them."

RUSSIA UNLEASHES NEARLY 600 MISSILES AND DRONES ON KYIV IN DEADLIEST STRIKE SINCE MAY

Filipetti warned the targeting of civilian areas created heightened security risks as Ukraine marked its 35th Independence Day, more than four years into Russia's full-scale invasion.

Several European leaders traveled to Kyiv for Ukraine’s Independence Day events, including European Council President António Costa and leaders from Finland, Lithuania, Norway, Denmark, Estonia and Latvia.

Filipetti said the high-level participation underscored continued international support for Ukraine.

"Independence Day is a really important moment for the allies of the Ukrainians to really show that we are not losing steam, that we continue to support their operations, to continue to support their sovereignty," Filipetti said. "But anytime there's massive public gatherings, particularly to demonstrate patriotism and support for the Ukrainian state, it increases the security risk."

Ukrainian authorities urged citizens to stay vigilant on public transport and guard against potential sabotage or sharing media that could reveal military positions, as well as possible attacks, Ukrainian News reported.

"They should be particularly mindful about sharing any videos or photographs that could betray the locations of some of their frontline soldiers," Filipetti warned.

DRONE OFFENSIVE HITS RUSSIAN OIL TANKERS AND REFINERIES AT 'INDUSTRIAL SCALE' AS MOSCOW BANS DIESEL EXPORTS

Monday's holiday came after a lethal exchange of drone and missile strikes. Ukrainian officials reported at least seven deaths from Russian attacks, while a Ukrainian drone strike in Russia's Krasnodar region killed three, according to Russian officials, The Associated Press reported.

"The Russians really want to bleed the Ukrainians of people, equipment, and will before the Russians are bled of those same three things," Filipetti said. "And what we've seen over the course of this year is almost no territorial gains on behalf of the Russians."

They are losing more soldiers each month than they can recruit, forcing them to rely on North Korean, Cuban and other foreign fighters to fill the gap, Filipetti added.

ZELENSKYY SAYS PUTIN 'LOST THE INITIATIVE' AS UKRAINE'S TECH INDUSTRY RESHAPES THE WAR

"Remember, Putin thought that this was going to be a special military operation that was going to last a matter of weeks," Filipetti said.

Ultimately, she emphasized that Ukraine's resolve delivers a firm deterrent beyond Moscow.

"It sends a message to the Russians that any invasion of sovereign territory, like their invasion of Ukraine, is going to create more consequences for them," Filipetti said. "We are not losing steam, and we continue to support their operations, to continue to support their sovereignty."

Filipetti said it also sends an important message to other American adversaries like China.

"These adversaries of the United States really learned from how the United States handles conflicts in other theaters. It's really important that our adversaries of China, Russia, Iran, and others understand that if they invade another country unilaterally, there are going to be consequences, not rewards."

'National Treasure' director predicts upcoming third film won't be able to 'ignore' politics

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 18:41:55 -0400

"National Treasure" director Jon Turteltaub suggested Friday that politics was a factor in delaying the third film in the Nicolas Cage-led franchise and predicted the issue would be addressed in the new sequel.

During a live recording of the "National Treasure Hunt" podcast in Philadelphia, Turteltaub confirmed to an audience that "National Treasure 3" was "finally real" with a finished script approved by him and Disney.

The original film, "National Treasure," came out in 2004 with its sequel, "National Treasure: Book of Secrets," premiering three years later in 2007. Both were directed by Turteltaub.

While discussing the gap between the second and third films, Turteltaub said that the growing political climate in the country made it difficult to keep working on the historical fiction film series, citing an interaction with former Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

"He, like others, were surprised that Democrats made that movie because Democrats can’t be patriots," Turteltaub said, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. "That’s the thought and it just got worse. And on the Democrats’ side: ‘Oh, Republicans, they just want to keep stuff to themselves, they hate everybody, they want to kill everyone, and blah blah blah.'"

Though he did not offer many details about the third film, Turteltaub predicted that it would inevitably have to address modern politics.

"We have to be very careful, but I don’t feel we are allowed to ignore it," Turteltaub said. "I think we have to include that idea in the story somehow without making someone feel put off."

ӣ��Ƶ Digital reached out to Disney for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

Turteltaub and producer Jerry Bruckheimer have hinted at the production of a third film starring Cage for years, though production has yet to take place. Even on the podcast, Turteltaub joked "things could happen" in the meantime.

"Now, it’s Hollywood real, meaning things could happen. Nic gets hit by a bus, there’s no 'National Treasure 3.' If I get hit by a bus, there’s probably a 'National Treasure 3.' Welcome to Hollywood," Turteltaub said.

In a comment to ӣ��Ƶ Digital, film critic Christian Toto, the founder and editor of Hollywood in Toto, said that it made sense for Hollywood to tackle another older franchise for nostalgia but expressed disappointment in the idea of addressing politics.

"It sounds like Turteltaub, a veteran Hollywood director who isn't known for his political views, was accurately assessing how Hollywood views patriotism and the political divide," Toto said. "It's actually a sad sign of the times — a franchise about U.S. history is now seen as problematic or challenging, when it should be nothing of the kind."

"A franchise like this would be best served staying apolitical, and the director's comments suggest a way to thread the needle between acknowledging our political chasm and moving forward with a fresh new story," he added. "Heck, if that delicate balance works, it might be the biggest film in the franchise."
